Chapter 328: Chi Wan is suspicious
How the jailer regretted not mentioning it for the time being, Chi Wan suddenly realized when she heard this, it turned out that the envoys of Chengguo came, and the emperor took the king of Chu out in order to decorate the faΓ§ade and make a show.
But why did the envoys come so timely?
Chi Wan wanted to ask Xie Yutang, but when she turned her head, she found that the other party was sitting there with a calm expression, not the slightest surprise at the jailer's words, as if she had already known it.
How is it possible, Xie Yutang is locked up here every day, just like himself, where did he know the news?
As soon as her thoughts turned, Chi Wan couldn't help but ask curiously, "Xie Yutang, you say, is what they said true?" β
Xie Yutang looked up at her, "What is it true or not?" β
"It's about Chengguo coming to visit." Chi Wan stared at Xie Yutang tightly to see if there was any strange look on his face.
Xie Yutang shook his head, "It's not a visit, it's just a visit to inquire about things in the name of a visit." β
This was similar to what the jailer had said, and she asked instead, "How do you know it's a message?" β
Xie Yutang smiled noncommittally, "Who would send someone to visit before they started, but Chengguo couldn't touch the foundation of the imperial court, so he sent someone over." β
After listening to this, Chi Wan was thoughtful. Suddenly, she looked at Xie Yutang with a sharp look in her eyes, "You seem to know these things very well?" β
Xie Yutang quickly understood what she meant, and spread his hands a little aggrieved, "Wanwan, you asked me to say it, I just sought truth from facts and analyzed it according to the current situation." β
Ji Wan didn't believe this set of arguments and looked straight at him. Xie Yutang's expression was calm, which made Chi Wan's heart uncertain, in fact, she was not sure if Xie Yutang knew it, but looking at his attitude, it was really strange, and when she heard that Chengguo was coming, she didn't have any surprise at all.
"Wanwan, are you cold, come here and I'll warm you." Xie Yutang smiled at her gently.
Chi Wan looked at that handsome face, and suddenly threw away the thought just now, others don't know, doesn't she know yet? Xie Yutang is extremely upright, and there are some things that he will never do.
Thinking of this, Chi Wan also smiled at Xie Yutang, "No, I'll lean here for a while." β
The quilt in the prison is hard and smelly, there is no way to keep warm, and if it is covered, it means that it is not covered, but fortunately there are two of them, and they can snuggle up to each other.
The two didn't say anything anymore, and for a while, the prison was extremely quiet, and Chi Wan emptied her brain and sorted out what had happened recently. First the king of Chu was arrested, and then they, just when the emperor was about to kill the king of Chu, the envoys of Chengguo came, although she was not outside, she did not see the situation outside, but I also knew that those ministers must have tried every possible way to persuade the emperor to release the king of Chu for their own interests and the future of the court.
And the emperor will definitely agree for the position and face he just gained. This link is too coincidental, and it has to make Chi Wan think about it.
Suddenly, a thought popped up in her mind, could it be that someone from Chengguo came at this time, someone had already notified her?
Chi Wan was shocked, she remembered that she had asked Xie Yutang before, why wasn't she worried at all, what did Xie Yutang say at that time? It's also to tell her not to be afraid, they will definitely go out.
Why is Xie Yutang so sure, did he know something in advance?
The more Chi Wan thought about it, the more frightened she became, and she stood up suddenly, her movements were abrupt, which startled Xie Yutang, thinking that she was uncomfortable somewhere, and hurriedly asked nervously, "Wanwan, what's wrong?" β
The thought in Chi Wan's heart almost blurted out, turned a few corners in her mouth, and finally swallowed it back into her stomach.
"It's okay, my leg is a little numb, get up and walk." Chi Wan casually found an excuse and perfunctory, and Xie Yutang was not suspicious. Just tell her that if she feels uncomfortable, tell him directly.
"I know." Ji Wan responded absentmindedly.
After a while, the jailer brought the food, and compared to the previous days, today's meal was obviously much better, although it was still green vegetables and turnips, but it was already able to eat. What's more, there's even an egg hidden underneath.
Chi Wan was pleasantly surprised, and was about to ask the jailer, but the moment she looked up, the jailer had already turned around and left.
"Wanwan, it's okay, eat, quietly, don't let anyone see it." Xie Yutang's lips squirmed rapidly, and he said in a voice that could only be heard by Chi Wan.
Chi Wan was very grateful to that jailer in her heart, but she also knew that her current identity would only bring trouble to the other party. He didn't say anything more, just lowered his head and concentrated on eating, during which Xie Yutang came over with half an egg, and Chi Wan looked at him in amazement, "I have eggs, you don't have to give them to me." β
"I know, I don't really like eggs, half of you." Xie Yutang explained gently.
Chi Wan felt a little complicated in her heart, Xie Yutang was really good to her, if what she envisioned was not true, how good it would be.
"Concentrate on eating, don't think about anything else." Xie Yutang saw that Chi Wan was distracted, and knocked on the edge of her bowl with a smile.
Chi Wan kept looking at Xie Yutang, and her heart was entangled.
Is this his plan and the King of Chu, he knows that he will not be trapped here for too long, so he told himself, don't be afraid, they will go out, is that so?
However, in this way, wouldn't Xie Yutang collude with the enemy country?
Chi Wan was very stubborn in her bones, even if the current emperor was very unfriendly to her, she never thought of betraying, if Xie Yutang really had contact with the enemy country, she didn't know how to face him.
Ji Wan thought about it a lot, and her heart was messy.
"Wanwan, Wanwan." A voice called out to her worriedly.
When Chi Wan came back to her senses, she bumped into Xie Yutang's concerned eyes, "Wanwan, what's wrong with you, you must tell me if you feel uncomfortable." β
"I'm fine." Chi Wan stared at Xie Yutang for a moment and shook his head.
Xie Yutang no longer believed her words, reached over and touched her hand, frowned, and said, "Your hands are so cold." β
Chi Wan's fingers curled up, wanting to pull it back, but Xie Yutang held it firmly, not allowing her to pull it out, his hand was very big, he could completely wrap her hand in it, and he struggled several times without success, but it made Xie Yutang hold it tighter, Chi Wan simply didn't bother to toss, and relaxed the strength of his hand.
"Well, it's a little cold." Chi Wan lowered her eyes without being salty.
"Come over here and come into my arms." Hearing this, Xie Yutang thought that Chi Wan was really unwell, so he said seriously.
Chi Wan's face was a little red, these days, they have relied on snuggling up to each other to keep warm, in fact, it is nothing, but as soon as Xie Yutang said this, she suddenly became embarrassed, so she froze in place, and did not move.
Xie Yutang couldn't wait, got up and walked over to her, and opened his hand to hold her whole person in his arms.
His arms were very generous and warm, and Chi Wan leaned on it, and the whole person felt a lot more relieved. She put her head on Xie Yutang's shoulder socket, and her hot breath sprayed on it, making Xie Yutang feel a little itchy, but her heart was a soft mess, and the hand on Chi Wan's back unconsciously soothed.
This night, Chi Wan was worried, in fact, she didn't sleep comfortably, and she had been struggling in Xie Yutang's arms, Xie Yutang was awake when she slept, she moved casually, and he could wake up immediately.
I don't know why, Chi Wan's brows have been furrowed tightly, and she is not stable even in her sleep, Xie Yutang tried to flatten her, but no matter how much she stroked it, it was to no avail. He sighed helplessly, gave up his movements, leaned against Chi Wan's ear, and said in a low voice, "Wanwan, what's wrong with you?" β
At this time, Chi Wan muttered something, Xie Yutang thought she had woken up, and called her name softly, but Chi Wan just muttered a dream word and fell asleep again, but her hand was clutching Xie Yutang's sleeve, he moved casually, and she immediately shook her head from side to side, "Xie Yutang, don't, don't." β
"Okay, I'm not leaving, I'm here, don't be afraid."
After being appeased several times, Chi Wan fell asleep again. Xie Yutang opened his eyes until midnight, and when Chi Wan woke up, he found that he was still open, and couldn't help asking, "Why don't you sleep yet?" β
Xie Yutang smiled, "I can't sleep, it's okay, you can sleep." β
Hearing him say this, Ji Wan got up from his arms, "I'll chat with you." β
ββ¦β¦ Good. Xie Yutang realized that this day should not be so easy to talk about, and he also sat up straight.
Chi Wan didn't speak for a long time, Xie Yutang didn't speak, the two listened to the wind whirring outside the cell, and after a full quarter of an hour, Chi Wan took the lead in breaking the silence, "Xie Yutang, let me ask you a question, I hope you can answer me truthfully." β
"Okay." Xie Yutang nodded solemnly.
"Did you already know that the envoys of Chengguo would come?"
This sentence is actually very easy to answer, yes or no, you can answer it with one mouth, but Xie Yutang did not agree immediately, Chi Wan could feel that after she asked this sentence, Xie Yutang's arm around her tightened.
Above his head, there was the sound of Xie Yutang's shallow breathing, and Chi Wan didn't look back or move. But her attitude was resolute, and she was waiting for an answer.
"Yes." After a long time, Xie Yutang finally spit out a word.
This answer did not surprise Chi Wan, she sighed very calmly, "So, you told me not to worry at that time, because you know that as soon as they come, the court will be chaotic, right?" β
Xie Yutang's arm used a little force, and Chi Wan was a little painful, and after a long time, a slightly hoarse voice came from above, "It's not going to be chaotic, Chengguo won't come in so rashly." β
Chi Wan's heart was like falling into an ice cellar, cold to the bone, originally she was just suspicious, but this time it was all confirmed, Xie Yutang knew so much, obviously had close contacts with Chengguo, but hated that they lived together, she didn't notice it at all.
"Wanwan?" Xie Yutang lowered his head to look at her face with some concern.
